In a few minutes, I will start tweeting about the Petroleum Special Trust Fund (PTF) headed @ThisIsBuhari btw May '95 and May '99.

2. There have been allegations that the PTF projects were lopsided in favour of the north, aimed at portraying @ThisIsBuhari as sectional.

3. There have also been allegations of fraud in PTF, meant to show that @ThisIsBuhari not as clean as portrayed.

4. I will provide some background on PTF and present some facts based on public documents and leave you to draw your conclusions.

5. PTF was set up by Gen Abacha in May '95, headed by @ThisIsBuhari, with Chief Tayo Akpata as Secretary.
